Chapter 744: Heavenly-Quality Immortal Artifact

In ancient times, there were also many primordial demon gods, with vast differences in strength. Naturally, the greater the strength, the more valuable the bones they left behind.
Nevertheless, each piece of a demon god’s bone was extremely valuable. The bone armor displayed by Su Che was composed of 3,000 bone fragments and could undoubtedly be considered a precious treasure.
Truly worthy!
In fact, many Immortal Emperors shook their heads in silence, thinking to themselves: With so many demon god bones, if they were in my hands, I could at least use them to craft three top-tier immortal artifact-grade protective treasures.
It was as if three supreme immortal artifacts were thrown into the Heavenly Will Furnace. If unlucky enough to not receive the favor of Heaven, they would all be destroyed! What a pity…
Their thoughts were still limited to the assumption that these were the bones of some lower-level demon god. If they belonged to a higher-level one, then…
Imperial Emperor Guangyi spoke on behalf of all the immortals, asking, “Young man Su Che, do you know which demon god’s bones these are?”
This question was the real key.
“I do,” Su Che replied with a gentle nod. “It’s the primordial demon god, Sky-Devouring Rat.”
His voice was soft, yet it triggered an invisible shockwave within the Heavenly Will Void.
“Sky-Devouring Rat!”
All the Immortal Emperors and all the Great Luo Immortals widened their eyes… It was indeed the Sky-Devouring Rat!
Even Imperial Emperor Guangyi’s expression changed significantly. He immediately asked, “Words alone aren’t enough. May I examine them up close?”
“Of course,” Su Che replied politely.
Imperial Emperor Guangyi floated over and stood in front of the bone armor, examining it closely and touching it gently as he began a thorough inspection…
What level of primordial demon god was the Sky-Devouring Rat? He ranked just below the Twelve Ancestral Witches and was definitely among the top 100 among countless demon gods. It was truly difficult to estimate the value of the bone fragments he left behind.
But even that wasn’t enough to move the Immortal Emperors so much. The reason was that primordial demon gods had suffered divine punishment, so their relics were unlikely to receive Heaven’s favor. Once thrown into the Heavenly Will Furnace, they would almost certainly be lost forever. What a shame!
In fact, Su Che also understood this. He had only brought out this bone armor to compete in the treasure hunt, with no intention of actually throwing it into the furnace for transformation. He would win this gamble first, and then decide which treasure to transform once he entered the Heavenly Will Furnace.

After dozens of breaths, Emperor Guangyi returned to his original position and nodded, saying, “Based on my judgment, this set of bone armor is indeed the bone of a demon god at the level of the Sky-Devouring Rat—this alone is sufficient to confirm it.”
It’s hard to say for sure whether it really belongs to the Sky-Devouring Rat, but with her abilities, making a judgment solely on quality and rank is not a problem.
No one present dared question Emperor Guangyi’s expertise in appraising treasures, so they all agreed with his assessment.
However, many emperors planned to privately advise Emperor Fenglin that it would be more advantageous to disassemble this set of bone armor, divide it into parts, and exchange them for treasures with them—throwing it into the Heavenly Will Divine Furnace was too risky and inappropriate!
The value of such a set of bone armor was difficult to quantify in exact numbers; even Emperor Guangyi could only have a rough idea in his mind.
Next, it was naturally the other party’s turn to praise their treasure.
On the lotus platform opposite, Emperor Minggu stepped forward a few steps, went to the treasure he had displayed, and began to explain it.
At first glance, his treasure resembled an ancient-looking copper lock—its design was unremarkable, without any elaborate decorations, and it seemed rather ordinary.
“This treasure is called the ‘Fate Seal Reincarnation Lock.’ It has accompanied me through nine reincarnations and renaissances. Each time, my growth pattern remained exactly the same. The journey of these nine reincarnations is inscribed within this fate lock. If it receives the grace of heaven, it will become a lock of fate. Its functions, I believe, are well known to all of you fellow cultivators.”
Minggu’s explanation was quite brief, but all the emperors present understood the true value of this treasure.
Only Su Che, with his limited knowledge, didn’t fully grasp its true purpose. So, Fenglin transmitted a message to explain to him, “Minggu’s cultivation path is quite unique. He has gone through nine reincarnations as an immortal, each time retaining memories from his past life and growing along a predetermined path to reach the realm of an emperor. Then, he proceeds to the next reincarnation…”
“Nine reincarnations, with basically identical experiences. The mark of fate is deeply engraved within this fate lock. If it also gains the approval of heaven, this lock will transform into the path of growth for an emperor, becoming a true lock of fate.”
“Any low-level immortal who obtains this lock, refines it into their own life treasure, and takes it with them through reincarnation and renaissance will follow exactly the same path as Minggu. Under heaven’s arrangement, they will surely become an emperor of their generation!”

Hearing this, Su Che finally understood. If this Life Lock could come out of the Heaven’s Will Furnace intact, it meant that with it, one could definitely become an Immortal Emperor.
“This treasure is truly extraordinary!”
Even Su Che himself admitted that this Life Lock represented a future Immortal Emperor, and its value was immeasurable.
Of course, there was a prerequisite: it had to be thrown into the furnace and still be able to be retrieved!
The value of this lock was indeed hard to assess. For now, it seemed to have no practical use at all. But if it could emerge unscathed from the furnace and be recognized by Heaven’s Will, its value would far exceed even the Demon God Bones he had shown earlier.
After all, a Life Lock that carried the fate of an Immortal Emperor was nothing comparable to ordinary defensive magic artifacts.
Everything else was external to the body. If one could become an Immortal Emperor, many advanced Great Luo Golden Immortals would give everything to obtain it and then unhesitatingly use it to reincarnate and cultivate anew.
Although Su Che, who possessed the Immortal Prison, didn’t like such predetermined fates, for others, it was something they longed for but could never attain.
It was not urgent to determine which was more valuable—the “Fate Cycle Lock” or the “Demon God Bone Armor.” There were still six treasures left to be introduced, so comparing just two of them made no sense.
“Now, let’s continue to showcase each of your second treasures,” Emperor Guangyi declared loudly.
Su Che’s second treasure was the spiral horn he had just created not long ago. However, this horn was much larger—over five feet long and as thick as a calf’s leg—looking quite impressive.
Of course, Su Che wouldn’t tell them that it was entirely his own creation. Instead, he claimed it was a rare natural treasure capable of breaking through all wind-based cultivation techniques in the world, including the dark red energy currents in Heaven’s Will Void.
As soon as he said this, a few Immortal Emperors and Great Luo Golden Immortals changed expressions dramatically. Clearly, they specialized in wind-based cultivation techniques, and this item was undoubtedly their nemesis.
Emperor Guangyi manipulated the horn through the air currents and tried it out himself. After returning, he said to Su Che, “This treasure is already a natural wonder in itself. Do you still plan to put it into the Heaven’s Furnace?”
“Of course!” Su Che replied without hesitation. “There are nine such horns in total. I only used one for the experiment. Even if it fails, it doesn’t matter. If it succeeds, its power might be even greater, and it could even transform into a true natural wonder.”
There were actually nine of these!

Hearing these words, the expressions of those Wind Realm Immortals turned even darker. They wished they could rush over immediately, snatch all such spikes away, and destroy them on the spot… Su Che, on the other hand, smirked inwardly. Next, surely many Immortal Emperors who specialized in Wind Realm cultivation methods would unite and go to Emperor Feng Lin to buy up the remaining eight spikes, refusing to let them fall into the hands of others. It was fine to sell them at a high price—after all, more of these could be created. Moreover, Su Che had no grudges against those Wind Realm Immortal Emperors and truly didn’t intend to sell them to others, leaving those Wind Realm Immortals with no way out. Since they were the nemesis of the Wind Realm, it was the most logical choice to let those who specialized in Wind Realm cultivation methods buy them. As for whether this would bring trouble to himself, Su Che wasn’t worried at all. Earlier, he had publicly declared that there were only nine such spikes, and no one would doubt his words, because this was the Void of Heavenly Will—who would dare lie openly here? One might deceive others, but not Heaven. Dismissing Heaven was nothing but playing with one’s own fate. Su Che wasn’t lying either; for now, indeed only nine such spikes had been created. How many more would be made tomorrow was a matter for tomorrow—right now, there were truly only nine! By using these nine spikes, he could lure some Wind Realm Immortals to Feng Lin. He had other plans for the next step. That was a story for later; not to mention for now. Next, it was Emperor Chi Lin’s turn to introduce the treasure he had displayed. It was a small gourd, entirely red as if made of rubies, held in the palm of his hand. “The Evil Emperor’s Extreme Fire Treasure Gourd!” Chi Lin explained, “This is a supreme treasure created by the Evil Emperor Immortal Lord. If it can be transformed to possess a trace of innate properties, it will be elevated to a Heavenly Grade Immortal Artifact…” At these words, the crowd was in awe—this treasure gourd was actually a supreme treasure crafted by the Evil Emperor Immortal Lord himself. Once transformed into a Heavenly Grade Immortal Artifact, its power would be unimaginable. “Heavenly Grade Immortal Artifact?” It was the first time Su Che had heard of such a grade of immortal artifact. He had only known of top-grade and ultimate-grade artifacts before, always thinking that the highest-grade immortal artifacts in the Immortal Realm were ultimate-grade. He never expected there to be a higher tier—Heavenly Grade. “That’s right, Heavenly Grade Immortal Artifact.” Zong Yi, sensing Su Che’s confusion, took the initiative to explain, “Previously, your exposure was too limited, your perspective too narrow, so you didn’t know many things. Only by coming to the Cloud Immortal Realm can you truly understand what the Immortal Realm is like…”

After Zong Yi’s explanation, Su Che finally understood that a Heavenly Grade Immortal Artifact referred to a supreme treasure acquired later in life that possessed a trace of innate attributes, with power beyond imagination. In the Immortal Realm, 99% of the Immortal Emperors used top-tier Immortal Artifacts. This was because, given their abilities, it was extremely difficult to forge such artifacts—requiring the collection of the most precious and nearly extinct materials in the Immortal Realm, along with countless years of effort, to create one. Even the artifacts forged by Immortal Lords were merely top-tier Immortal Artifacts, albeit with greater power, and could be regarded as peak creations forged later in life: supreme treasures of the acquired realm. True Heavenly Grade artifacts were not created by human hands but were born of heaven itself. Only those created by heaven could be considered Heavenly Grade! So, was there any higher-grade artifact beyond Heavenly Grade? Yes! Su Che knew there definitely must be. For example, the innate supreme treasures that existed even before the creation of heaven and earth—chaos supreme treasures… And then there was his own Immortal Prison Pagoda, which must be far stronger than so-called Heavenly Grade Immortal Artifacts. “But the Immortal Prison Pagoda is definitely not an innate supreme treasure from before the creation of heaven and earth, nor a chaos supreme treasure. Then, what grade should the Immortal Prison Pagoda be classified as?”
